We are having the issue with dell laptops that have co pilot integrated onto the device. The 2 laptops with integrated co pilot have normally 600 megabit download and as soon as they join a teams video call it drops to 8 megabit download speed. After weeks of research and trail and error we have figured out that it is co pilot causing this issue. From there we did lots more research and went through the group policy method of disabling co pilot. Everything was working normal until there was a windows update which countered everything we had done and reenabled copilot even while the group policy setting is active. If anyone has a fix to copilot making laptops unusably slow during teams calls that would be greatly appreciated.
How do I remove all Copilot and AI related stuff from Windows 11?
I want to remove Copilot from Windows 11. Completely. I dont want it disabled so it conveniently comes back with the next update. I want it gone. I am tired of microsoft telling me what I want on the machine I own.
Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

2025-03-07T15:35:41+00:00 I couldn't agree more. How dare they just add something to my system without asking! It is positively outrageous. I am undertaking a PhD at one of the Russell Group universities in England. My thesis requirements specifically state, quite rightly, that all the research and writing must be entirely without AI and must be completely the student's own work to avoid disqualification. This is six years of work.... Do these idiots ever consider aspects such as this?
